South Kensington Host Premium x 4

Elegant garden flat in a white Victorian building in Cromwell Place km, between South Kensington Station and the Museum of Natural History. A ten minute walk to Harrod's and Hyde Park.
Italian design furniture, Cassina sofas and comfortable Flou beds that guests will surely appreciate.
The proximity of subway and bus to go anywhere, the numerous shops and restaurants, the quiet and the spaces of the house, the atmosphere of the culture-rich area would find this apartment a real winner.


Fantastic location in the heart of South Kensington a minute walk from the Natural History Museum and from South Kensington tube Station. The flat, set in a Victorian building, is very comfortable, furnished with modern Italian pieces and equipped with internet and international satellite TV. Our nearby bus stop will get you anywhere you need to go. Views of Natural History Museum. Five minute from Harrods and Hyde Park. Close to the flat are some very nice streets to walk, a pedestrian area in front of the museums, restaurants and cafè options.
Comfortable for a family with children who love the ... dinosaurs and for business people who love a central location while being in a quiet residential area.
The flat has two spacious bedrooms with double beds, a large sitting room with very tall ceilings, a large dining table, a separate kitchen, a spacious entrance, two full bathrooms with showers.
Fully equipped kitchen, washer / dryer, Nespresso coffee machine. Internet. UK and International TV channels. The flat has an independent entrance through ten large steps. It is a basement flat, full of light as every room faces our private courtyard. It is very secure.
We are new to Homeway, but we are experienced hosts through other sites. Guests have appreciated the location in the heart of South Kensington, the ease of access to the tube and buses, the ease of reach to Heathrow, the availability of a private luggage storage room, the coziness of the flat, the modern Italian design and the fact that the host is easily accessed through email and shares his local knowledge. Past guests have also appreciated the cleanliness of the flat.
Complimentary luggage storage option available before and after your stay in our private luggage room in our vault. Check in and welcome by a friend of the host.
No pets. No parties. No smoking. Check in after 2pm and check out before 11am, happy to let you check in early or check out late if the flat is not booked.

Wonderful South Kensington flat!
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely flat in a perfect neighborhood! Convenient to museums, tons of restaurants, and public transport. It was a great home base for staying in London. Our hosts were the most considerate imaginable and very communicative. The flat had everything you could need and was spotless. We were very comfortable. The neighborhood can be busy, but the bedroom windows were soundproof and we slept very well. Easily 5 stars!

Ideal location for London break
Very cute little flat in heart of South Kensington. Close to station, museum and pubs. Steep stairs if you have heavy bags and some taxis wont drop you on the street. There was some construction next door during the day, and a little noise from flat above. Fluffy towels, good washing maching, coffee machine and heating works well. On the downside only 2 pillows on each bed and no extra blankets, and one tea towel. Also netflix available but need to use own subscription which can a problem if travelling from overseas.Overall location outweighs all of the faults.

Lovely vacation flat
Clean, well-appointed flat in amazing location that is less than a 5 minute walk to museums, tube, n buses making it super easy to get anywhere in London. Tons of great restaurants nearby in a beautiful, safe neighborhood. Comfortable beds n excellent showers. Owner responded immediately to questions and his friend met us at the flat to give us an in-person greeting and show us everything in the flat. Really appreciated the breakfast goodies and the museum membership cards which helped us avoid lines and get into special exhibitions for free. We would love to stay here again the next time we are in London.

Great place, great location, great host
Gabriele was a lovely host. The listing was accurate and easy access to alot of activities. It was charming and in such a cool area. We walked to the Palace and back and although a bit of a walk there was so much to see so you really didn't notice. Thank you Gabriele for your suggestions and for providing us with such lovely and quaint accomodations.

Wonderful for Easter week
We took our daughter and grand-daughter to London for Easter week and had a wonderful time. The flat was perfect for our needs, only a short walk to the South Kensington station and lots of good dining places. Gabriele could not have been more helpful, with easy checkin, lots of constructive advice and timely help. Will definitely stay there again.

Outstanding experience in London
We stayed for 4 nights on Spring Break- 2 adults and 2 kids 12 and 16 at this apartment in South Kensington. As soon as I booked it Gabriele was amazing reaching out sending a you tube video of property and great communicating when we checked in. We were visiting from the US- used What’s app no problem. Enjoyed the nespresso coffee daily and loved the two bathrooms and space. There was luggage storage since we got there early. The location is near the metro so easy to get anywhere. We also took metro from Heathrow to the apartment no problem. Appreciated the binder with information on restaurants and the museum member cards to skip lines.Will definitely stay there again.

Amazing! Location, Location, Location!
Gabriele's flat was the perfect place to stay in London for me, my husband and 2 daughters (in 20's). Very spacious with all the amenities you could ask for! Gabriele was super responsive to any inquiries and provided great details on how to find & access the flat. The flat is in a perfect location - very close to South Kensington station where you can go anywhere in London (and one train ride to/from Heathrow). The museums are a 5 minute walk from the flat and Harrod's, Hyde Park & Kensington palace are a short walk. Overall we had an amazing time in London and Gabriele's flat was the perfect place to experience it from. Highly recommend!

My daughter and I had a fabulous holiday in London. The accommodations were excellent, with easy access to shops, museums, tube and train stations. Breakfast was provided for us, with coffees and teas and milk. Passes to the museums helped us skip the lines. Communication with the owners was excellent! We would definitely stay there again.

This flat is in a great location with the South Kensington Tube station a very short walk away. The neighborhood is pretty and close to the museums and a short walk to Herrods as well. Communication was great with the owners and we had a lovely time in London. The welcome basket of eggs, butter, bread and jam was very much appreciated as well.

This flat is located a very short walk from the South Kensington tube station is a wonderful place from which to explore London. A very short walk to lots of shops and restaurants, the Albert and Victoria museum and the Natural History Museum are literally a 5 minute walk. Harrods is about a 20 minute walk. With Piccadilly, Circle and District lines all at the tube stop you can be anywhere in London in no time at all. Our hosts were terrific at answering question, giving guidance and making restaurant recommendations. The flat is very comfortable and well appointed. We could tell that the hosts take great pride in (and care of) the flat. Meeting their checkin person at the flat was very helpful, including storing luggage as we arrived from the US before the 2:00 PM checkin time. All in all, a wonderful place to stay in London. I highly recommend it.

Great location; nicest owners
We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights at this great apartment. The owners were very nice and met us at the apartment in the morning to give us a quick rundown of everything. The apartment is in an amazing location - literally just steps from the Natural History Museum and just a few steps in the other direction for the subway and tons of shops and restaurants. Harrods was also very close. The beds were super comfortable for us and having the extra bathroom was also a big plus. We would definitely stay again when we come to London.

Wonderful vacation flat
We had a wonderful experience at this flat. What a fantastic location! Stayed with my husband and our three children, so the two bedrooms, two bathrooms and kitchen were key. We went on to 10 days in Ireland from there, so having a washer/dryer at the end of our London portion was so helpful. The owners were very communicative and helpful with check-in, a suggestion book, even some basic groceries upon arrival! Would highly recommend.
